You can use the AssetManager-API to create revisions[1].

kind regards,

Look at this community article:

https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/using/graniteAPI.html

It talks about using the Granite version of AssetManager to move digital assets. Its up to your app logic to name the asset when you move it. For example:

 String assetPath = "/content/dam/testfolder/somefile.pdf";
 String copyPath = "/content/dam/testhtml/copieddoc.pdf";
 assetManager.copyAsset(assetPath, copyPath);

You can check to see if a asset has the name. If so - change the name of the new asset - ie - copieddoc1.pdf.
